The Shoe Fits

Just like our favourite shoe, our Patriarchal Blessings fits only us....

What a wonderful night we had last night as we learnt more about our blessings and enjoyed a wonderful meeting with our Stake Patriarch Barry Lowater.


Ipswich Stake Patriarch Barry Lowater and his wife Shirley

Following an interesting and insightful view into the experiences of Patriarch Lowater, the sisters had a chance to spend some time with their own blessings....contemplating what the Lord needs them to do and the wonderful blessings that will come as they do their best.

If you want to join in, this is what we did:

Get 3 coloured pencils and mark any words / phrases in your blessing using the following key:
 
1. Colour One - Counsel and Warnings
2. Colour Two - Blessings Promised
3. Colour Three - Talents / Gifts
 
Use this information to make goals for your life, to hearken to counsel, to follow direction and to build on talents given.
 
Write down your goals.  "An unwritten goal is only a wish" and refer to them often.
 
As you do this two things will happen:
 
1. You will feel the love of the Lord in your life.
2. You will know every day what to do and where to turn for help.

It was a wonderful evening with friends new and old and of course cake....lots of cake!!!



Come and join us for our next activity - Sister Scriptorians on July 9th at 7.30pm
